There must be a reason that winter hair hangs on where it does for so long. Sure, they can rub it off their sides more easily than they can their backs……but I wonder……is it a natural sunscreen for still-winter-tender skin?

Oh, I just want to work on those coats SOOO much! One of my dogs doesn’t like being brushed so I wait until she’s eating and curry comb, snip and pull the wads of hair. I’m not suggesting this for the goats, but Pia is such an enthusiastic eater that she’ll let me have my way in trade for food in her bowl.

Momma and Baby Boy are so fortunate that MBF are not mutton eaters I just love the way they look when they “molt”. It’s like afterwards they stand around saying hey, I like this years color on you. Sheep are lovely and silly creatures, but goats are my faves.

My grandfather and uncles ran sheep and cattle on the northern NM ranch and they raised pigs & chickens for the family. I had the “joy”, not of having unknowingly consumed animals whom I had known as playmates……still hard for me as a city girl not to shiver and quake. I guess if I had been one of the country cousins it wouldn’t have phased me but I only spent summers on the ranch and thought of most of the “close to the house” animals as pets. My bad I guess.

But that and some graphic memories have made me the animal lover I am. So not all’s for not. Oma Linda

On the hottest day so far this year I´m so happy for your sheep to get rid of their winter coat. I´m also happy that there are no thoughts about having a grilled lamb leg. And I think you are very happy to be allowed to feed them by hand 🙂

I laughed about the goat named Pia who is an enthusiastic eater…. can I meet her on a blog?

Maybe you and Don should drink your margaritas in the sheep pen instead of the donkey yard. You know, just chill. Convince the sheep that you mean no harm. Then they’d get used to you being around (especially if you brought snacks) and let you touch them more fully.
